Giants open as 6-point road underdogs vs. Eagles

The New York Giants broke the ice with their first win of the season on Sunday by defeating the Washington Football Team, 20-19, in a game they could have easily lost.

They will now travel down to Philadelphia this week to face the 1-4-1 Eagles, who rallied late against the Baltimore Ravens at home on Sunday, only to fall short, 30-28.

The Eagles open as six-point favorites over the Giants for this Thursday night’s game, per BetMGM. The over/under opened at 44.5 points. The opening  money line is Giants +200, Eagles -250.

Philadelphia is in second place in the NFC (L)East behind Dallas, who is 2-3 and face the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night. The Giants (1-5) are in third place by virtue of their victory over Washington, who is also 1-5.

In the NFC, Philadelphia is raked 12th overall while the Giants are 13th. The Eagles have allowed 175 points in their first six games and are 0-2-1 at home this year.

The Giants have scored just 101 points on the season and have scored only six offensive touchdowns this season (three rushing, three through the air).

Philadelphia has won 11 of the last 12 meetings with the Giants.
